Adam Schefter on what NFL coaches are saying about the ‘Sean McVay effect’

32-year-old Sean McVay still has yet to win his first playoff game as a head coach, but in two season with the Rams, McVay is already rivaling New England’s Bill Belichick as the biggest star in coaching.

NFL teams are lining up to hire coaches who they believe can emulate McVay’s success in Los Angeles. The Cardinals, for example, just hired a former college coach who hasn’t had a winning season since 2015 solely because of his cachet as an offensive genius and quarterback guru.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, defensive coaches around the league aren’t happy about the “McVay effect,” which may be preventing qualified defensive-minded coaches from getting a shot as a head coach.

“There are coaches around the league that believe that this is the ‘Sean McVay effect.’ That everybody out there wants to go hire somebody like Sean McVay – and there are defensive coaches around the league, I think, who are resentful of the interview process because they believe that if you’re a quality control coach for Sean McVay, you have a better chance of landing an interview than if you’re a high profile defensive coach around the league.

Right now there’s a luster around anybody that works with Sean McVay. If you clean his toilets, you have a chance to become a prominent coach in the NFL right now.”
